“At this juncture, it is important to acknowledge our hard working, compassionate, performing and listening leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR), who has consistently supported members of the National Assembly as representatives of the people in reaching out Nigerians through the distribution of food palliatives as part of ways and means to cushion the effect of the high cost of living occasioned by the difficult but necessary economic reforms embarked upon by Government to rescue our country from the path of unsustainable economic policies of the past. I therefore, urge all Nigerians to support our President and the Government to deliver stability, peace and sustainable prosperity to our nation.
“The worst is over and we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel. Permit me to also appreciate the Honourable Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Reduction, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda for taking out time to be with us in Lagos-West for today’s event. You have also demonstrated commitment to the welfare of our people.
“Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, as the year 2024 draws close to an end, we should remind ourselves of the many challenges and triumphs we have experienced individually and collectively as Nigerians, especially the people of Lagos-West, the largest Senatorial District in Nigeria in terms of human population and number of polling units. These attributes of Lagos-West have made it even more challenging to satisfy the needs of our people, but to the glory of God, we have taken the bull by its horns and delivered the goodies to a sizeable number of our people.

“Recently, we delivered entrepreneurial training with starter empowerment packages, including tools and fifty thousand naira (N50,000.00) to One Thousand youths and women; we have in the past distributed thousands of bags of rice to constituents for the benefit of their families during major nationwide celebrations; we have also distributed food packs as palliatives to more than ten thousand constituents, and in all of these, the physically challenged community as well as the elderly have been carried along.
“We also have on-going capital projects such as the construction of block of classrooms at Community Primary School, Oshodi; there is also the construction of Skills Acquisition Centre at Adeleye Primary School, Mushin; the construction of Market Stalls at Agbado Oke-Odo LCDA is in progress; as well as the completion/construction of a Youth Centre in Badagry.”
